Physical Activity Counselling for Young Adult Cancer Survivors
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 12-week videoconferencing behavioural support intervention to promote physical activity behaviour for Survivorship and Cancer. Completed, enrolled 42 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Survival rates for cancer are increasing, resulting in more young adult cancer survivors living with lingering side effects. Physical activity has been shown to improve the quality and length of life in young adult cancer survivors; yet, few are active enough, and little is currently being done to promote physical activity in this population. The investigators developed a novel behaviour support intervention to promote physical activity in young adult cancer survivors. In this two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial, the investigators aim to: (1) assess trial and intervention feasibility, (2) assess trial and intervention acceptability, and (3) generate data on physical activity behaviour. Young adult cancer survivors will be randomized to receive either a 12-week behaviour support intervention delivered via videoconferencing or will be allocated to usual care.

Timeline
Interventions
Participants in Group A will receive six real-time, 1-on-1 60-minute sessions led by a physical activity counsellor over a 12-week period. Sessions will be delivered via videoconferencing and will aim to provide young adult cancer survivors with support as well as the knowledge, skills, and confidence to identify and overcome challenges to engaging in physical activity in order to increase physical activity behaviour and enhance patient-reported outcomes.
